Additional Information

FOREWORD
HERE we are at last, fellow-seniors, at the end of our long journey
through high school. Soon we shall be out in the world, on our
own, ready to shoulder the responsibilities of life. Our high school
days will be only a pleasant memory.
However, this is a part of our life that we shall always remember.
Though we may not consider them so now, these are the happiest days of
our lives. Many of us will remember our first day in the eighth grade
when we were stricken with awe at the enormousness and complexity
of the high school and thought that the day ol graduation would never
come. We'll remember how we gradually became accustomed to high
school as time went on and we joined various after-school clubs and
sports and made new friends.
We shall remember that first date and that first dance and that
certain teacher who always made us do our homework. And who among
us will forget those thrill-packed football games, wrestling matches,
variety shows, those riotous faculty plays, and. in our senior year,
the uproarious Senior Play, the snow-bound Senior Ball, Class Day,
and finally our day of graduation? These, however, will soon be
incidents of the past, some of which will be remembered and some of
which will be forgotten.
Therefore, in the following pages, we shall attempt to represent
the various times and scenes of our high school days so that, when one
of us opens this book fifty years hence, some of the memories of high
school may be recalled and brought back to a seeming reality.
DEDICATION
WE, the Class of 19-18, dedicate the 1948 Nexus to our
friend and classmate Edward Fong. Known and liked
by all, Ed was an honor student and was elected to the
National Honor Society at the end of his junior year. He
was industrious and persevering in all his undertakings and
set an excellent example of character to his fellow-students.
Ed was indeed a credit to his class, and his sudden passing
was a deeply felt loss to all of us.
Now that Ed is no longer with us, we wish to make
known our lasting awareness of his absence by the dedica-
tion of the class yearbook to his memory.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE
THE class of '48 with its two hundred twenty-five members represents the total
registration of our senior high school twenty years ago. The graduates in that year
totaled forty-eight. Thus Baldwin High has been growing up with you. During this
time your parents and teachers have earnestly endeavored to provide the best of educa-
tional experiences.
You have probably reached a decision concerning your choice of college or vocation.
Graduation leaves you at the end of a road which connects with the busy highway of
adult life. Your choice at this time will shape your future life. Be sure you make a
choice with a backbone and not a wishbone.
Our statistics collected for several years show clearly that this highway you are
about to enter has several lanes. About fifty-five percent of the class will continue their
educational efforts on a college or post high school level. This is a very high percentage
which reflects credit on the graduates, teachers and the community as a whole. In New
York State this average is about twenty-two percent. Five percent of our boys will enter
one of the armed forces. The rest will join the ranks of the homemakers of our
community.
One point should be clear. No graduate's education is complete. Your school has
aimed to have you gain experiences in class and activity which would teach the real
values of life's ideals. But you must continue your church membership and attendance.
You must learn to have more responsibility as a family member. As a voting citizen,
within a few short years every member of your class must read, listen and critically
decide on the candidate deserving your ballot. American ideals need the protection of
all Americans.
All of you are deserving of congratulations and every success. The members of the
Board of Education join me in expressing best wishes for happiness in the days to come.
Dr. Henry C. Ducker,
Superintendent of Schools

PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
A parting word . . .
One decisive phase of your education is now over. It is well to take stock at this
point of what you have—and are. Your entire future depends upon the result of that
personal inventory.
We of the teaching staff can help you in the task. For instance, we know that your
high school diploma represents a degree of academic attainment second to none in the
either help or hinder you ?
nation—grade for grade, the Baldwin mark is superior. We know that your attendance
at a public school of this nature guarantees for you a well-rounded knowledge of the
people with whom you'll be working all your life—in contrast to the limiting knowledge
that comes from so called "select” schools.
But there arc other values than academic learning and democratizing experiences.
I'or instance, have you learned to work with orthers?—or do you feel that those who
disagree with you are insufferable? Have you learned to be interested in and to respect
others—their rights and their accomplishments?—or do you ignore any save those who
Have you developed personal convictions of right and wrong based on your belief
in God?—or do you change your moral standards to suit your convenience? Have you
learned to control your emotions?
Do you face problems squarely, determined to wrest out your own answers? Do
you have a plan tor your life and the fighting spirit to follow it through?
No report card will betray you if you rate low on this test, but if you discover your
weaknesses you can correct them.
We of the faculty are concerned not only in your successful graduation. We want
to know that you continue to grow in strength: physically, mentally and spiritually.

SENIORS
SENIOR OFFICERS
MOST of the senior activities of the class of ’48 have
been under the able leadership of the officers elected
by the class. Herb Hedick, president; Edythe Ferns, vice-
president; Frank Nelson, treasurer; and Carol Jones and Paul
Weill, secretaries.
After holding (he office of treasurer last year. Herb was
elected to the presidency this year and has admirably directed
each class activity. Who in the class of ’48 will ever forget
Herb as he shoveled his unprecedented idea for Nexus publicity out of the courtyard
snow ?
Edythe started as vice-president in the sophomore year and was class president
throughout the junior year. Carol has also served for our three senior high school years,
holding alternately the offices of secretary and treasurer. Both girls have proved to be
industrious and efficient workers.
Frank has worked on all class projects, but his most important contribution was his
painstaking computing and recording of the daily results of the annual .subscription
campaign. Paul’s humorous ideas and advertising schemes proved to be not only amusing
but also effective.
Once again we seniors thank our officers for their successful planning and execution
of our class activities throughout our four years in high school.

SENIOR CLASS ADVISERS

SENIOR ADVISERS
TO the faculty members who have so helpfully guided our class to success, we owe
a debt that can never be repaid.
At the beginning of our sophomore year Mr. Diskin, a new member of the faculty,
agreed to be chief adviser for the Class of '48. His assistance and interest proved very
inspiring, and throughout the sophomore and junior years he served as the only adviser
of the class. He generously offered his time and suggestions which greatly helped us in
the presentation of all the dances of our first two years including the elaborate Junior
Prom.
As the senior year approached, we realized it would be
desirable to have more supervision for the many senior
activities. Miss Close, Miss Currie, Mr. Reed, and Mr. Leonard
have helped Mr. Diskin provide us with able and appreciated
assistance during our most important year.
Mr. Reed and Mr. Leonard have expertly guided our
business transactions, and Miss Currie and Mr. Diskin have
successfully and efficiently supervised all the class projects.
Miss Close is responsible for a large part of the success
of our yearbook and deserves our lasting gratitude.
To our advisers, we seniors say, "Thanks for everything.”

JUNIOR
PROM
and
CLASS
DANCES
M-OW
THE gay atmosphere of spring with all
its color and freshness was the theme
of the Junior Prom held on May 24, 1947.
Decorated with vines of crepe paper flow-
ers and beautiful bouquets of spring blos-
soms as table centerpieces, the Steele School
auditorium was transformed into a pastel
garden of loveliness for a few short but
memorable hours. The preparations for the
prom, however, took longer than the prom
itself; and the dance chairmen, Marjorie
Meyer and Ray Young, spent several frantic
days twisting and wiring the artistic crepe
paper blooms. An old fashioned wishing
well, complete with thatched roof and old
oaken bucket made by some members of
the decoration committee, formed the center-
piece.
The evening was a success and was en-
joyed by all who attended, including many
who found themselves in formal attire for
the first time. Al Bassinger and Margaret
Keller were elected King and Queen of the
prom and were crowned by vote of the
couples present.
Although the Junior Prom and Senior
Ball were dances supreme, our other dances
will also be remembered. The annual Foot-
ball Dance was given and well-attended at
the beginning of our junior year. Many
quiet enjoyable evenings have been spent at
our dances, and each one ran smoothly except
that fateful night when the victrola broke.
The two stag dances given this year, one
the old clothes "Hobo Hop," entertained
record-breaking crowds and were the most
successful in our history.
60
SENIOR BALL
AFTER being postponed because of the great
snowstorm of December 26, the Senior
Ball was finally held on January 2 in the Steele
School auditorium. Bitter weather was unable to
discourage one-hundred fifty couples or keep them
from enjoying the evening under soft silver and
blue lights.
Planned in the true spirit of winter and the
holidays, the gay decorations provided a suitable
setting for the lovely gowns as the girls whirled
about the dance floor with their escorts.
To Ray Young was assigned the headache of
being dance chairman, and Ann Rhodes and Flo
Thomson shared the responsibilities of super-
vising the decorating committee. The decorators
spent three days prior to the big night in en-
thusiastic attempts to turn the hall into an original
"winter wonderland,” and finally the right effect
was attained.
Braving the remains of two feet of snow, seniors
and alumni crowded the auditorium and made
the Senior Ball the most memorable occasion in
the history of our class.
SENIOR PLAY
CURTAIN time! Curtain time! With the scurry of players to their positions the
folds of maroon and gold parted to reveal the first act of "Best Foot Forward,
the most sensational senior play our school has seen for many a year.
"Best Foot Forward," a hilarious comedy in three acts, centers about life at
Winsocki Prep School. The setting—right in the heart of things, a room in the boys’
dormitory. The time—what better time than the afternoon and evening of the annual
prom? The plot thickens when Bud reveals to his roommates that he has invited two girls
—his regular girl, Helen Schlesinger and a young movie star, Gail Joy, and that both
are coming! His faithful friends stick by him, however, and are rewarded by getting to
dance with Gail.
A major contributing factor to the play’s success was the terrific publicity campaign.
The participants themselves, aided by a small band, gave two demonstrations at the
station. The title of the play appeared in five languages as well as shorthand on the
blackboards throughout the school, along with the symbols "21" (the date of the
performance) and "B.F.F." The campaign was capped by thorough ticket sales bringing
in a near-capacity audience for the night performance. These factors resulted in returns
to the class totaling three times those of former years and helping to make this book
possible.
Although the participants derived the greatest pleasure from the performance, the
rehearsals were never dull. It was hard work to learn lines, cues, and proper technique;
occasional clowning relieved the strain and a short gathering at Schmitt’s followed the
afternoon and evening rehearsals.
The unique experiences of the participants will not soon be forgotten. Friendships
formed during the months of preparations proved strong and lasting. A bang-up
party celebrating the huge success climaxed the whole affair.
As usual, last, but of greatest importance are our sincere heartfelt thanks to Mrs.
Hutchison. Her priceless aid was indispensible to a successful production. She stuck by
even when a performance as scheduled seemed impossible. Future seniors can well be
content that their annual play will be in such capable hands.

THE 1948

THE work in publishing the’48 Nexus is over,
but the memories of editing copy, drawing
pictures, typing stories, snapping photos, and sell-

staff members for many years to come.
Well remembered will be the driving power or

And will we ever forget how Barbara slaved
over the senior writeups and Mary Ann over the
club writeups and how they heckled their class-
mates to bring in assignments?
We will also remember seeing Chris snapping
photos when we least expected it and seeing Jeanne
chasing around the halls for typists. And let’s not
forget Bob and Ed's excellent business ability in
supervising publicity and sales.
The art staff, led by Sally Lou, is to be compli-
mented for a job quickly and efficiently done. We
are also greatly indebted to Mrs. Strader for her
helpful advice in making the art work outstanding.
We sincerely thank Mrs. MacLaury for doing
our proofreading and Miss Close for her untiring
help in the various Nexus projects.

And last, but by far not least, are those seniors
who raised money for the class to make this year-
book possible. Will we ever forget how they trot-
ted from door to door selling magazine subscrip-
tions and Christmas cards? And say, remember
how they sold "coke” and pretzels at the football
games and how they high-pressured the students
into buying those sharp book covers?
Now the work is over, but the memory of the
fun and pleasure (and sometimes headaches from
it) will remain forever.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY
TO be selected for membership in the Nation-
al Honor Society is indeed an honor which
will always be cherished by those inducted.
Only those who have put into practice the quali-
ties of scholarship, character, leadership, and ser-
vice are considered for membership. These are
voted upon by a special faculty committee whose
unanimous approval is required for a candidate's
admission. Membership is limited to fifteen per-
cent of the entire class, five percent of whom may
be chosen at the end of their junior year.
Last June, nine members were inducted. They
were Maryann Cackowski, Edythe Ferns, Edward
Fong, Barbara Maurer, Gregory McGrath, Fay
Rhodes, Barbara Seaman, Sally Lou Wheeler, and
Christopher Wilson.
In December, sixteen more of the senior class
were inducted in an impressive candlelight cere-
mony. They included Mary Ann Atkinson, Caryl
Austrian, Linda de Bottari, Robert DeValve, Peter
Dollard, Edward Fesco, Herbert Hedick, Olga
Huppert, Marjorie Meyer. Robert Michaelis, James
O'Rourke, Harold Osmer, Robert Philippi, Mar-
vin Schnapp, Joanne Stengel, and Richard Usher.
During the year the members engaged in such
activities as keeping the honor roll up to date, con-
ducting visitors and new students about the school,
and making their services available during their
study periods. In return the members were granted
such privileges as using the library first period
and spending their free periods in places other
than study halls.

JUNIORS
THIS year's juniors have made a lasting impression on Baldwin High. There is no
doubt that the class of ’49 aims to set a record for all those who follow.
The '49ers had some sensational dances this year. The Football Dance, in honor
of the team, started the year off with a bang. Then came the "Moonlight Serenade,"
the Leap Year Dance, the Junior Prom, and the Spring Fever Fandango, which has be-
come traditional with the class.
The class’s money making campaign was started early in the term in a big way.
They began by selling candy at the basketball games and wrestling matches. Then the
girls of the class got together and sold those sharp blue and gold hats. Not to be outdone
by the girls, the fellas flooded B.H.S. with T shirts and sweatshirts with Baldwin across
the front.

72
The driving power of the
class included Jay Doyle,
president; Craig Haight, vice-
president ; Margery Nelson,
treasurer; and Audrey Clapp,
secretary. Their advisers were
Mr. Harrison and Mrs. Guile.
As we, the class of 1948,
vacate our places as seniors of
Baldwin High, we know that
they will be ably filled by the
’49ers, juniors today but SEN-
IORS tomorrow.

N’OW veterans of the
sophs are looking forward to
a bright future. They have conquer-
ed the perils of their freshman year
and have settled back on their
laurels.
At the end of last year a big
campaign was staged, an election
held, and the votes counted. The
results were as follows: Peter Gates,
president; Patricia Martin, secretary;
president; Robert O'Donnell, vice-
and George Hambrecht, treasurer.
Miss Page is the class adviser.
The class of '50 gave its first
dance on January 17 and it was
super. It was called the "Candyland
Caper" and had the whole school
talking for weeks. Peggy Hilsgrove
and Joan Brummer took charge of
the decorations, and the gym was

SOPHOMORES
Q
filled with lollipops and candy canes. Then the girls got together and made some cute
pipe cleaner pins that looked just like red and white candy canes; these sold like hotcakes
and helped to make the dance the big success it was.
Earlier the class had made some slick cakes and sold them to the people from the
P.T.A. and night school. Other dances were also given later in the year.
All in all, the sophomores have had commendable success this year, and we seniors
wish them even greater success in the years to come.

OW does your last year of junior high feel, Freshmen? Soon you will be
full-fledged members of the senior high school complete with officers,
advisers, and worries.
This year's freshmen had a great number of activities in which they could
participate on an equal basis with the upper classmen. The girls’ sports are a
good example of this. On almost all the school honor teams freshmen found
places. These include hockey, bowling, and volleyball. Also, fifteen outstanding
freshman girls have become members of the Girls’ Leader Corps, and many more
are in the Tumbling, Tap, and Modern Dance Clubs.
Don't for a minute get the idea that the boys have been neglected. J.V.
football, touch tackle, basketball, and wrestling have numbered many freshmen
boys among their ranks, and these boys have made outstanding records.
The class of '51 is not all brawn and no brain, though. They had the
startling average of approximately forty per cent of their class on the Honor
Roll. Few classes can claim the equal of that.
They have also turned out for the Chess Club, Photography Club, Debate
Club, and Stamp Club. The more artistic members belong to the Masque, Chor-
aleers, and Band. For those interested in the school there are places in the
G.O. and the Sendee Squad.
The freshmen have set a goal for the classes who follow them, and we
wish them the best of luck in the future.
76
THE EIGHTH GRADE
DOES 19>2 sound terribly far away? Do you wish that you were graduating this year
instead of four years from now?
Well, there’s no denying that you have a lot of school ahead of you, but we know
you’ll make the most of those years. This year the eighth graders have had more oppor-
tunities than any previous class, and they’ve certainly taken advantage of them.
Those members of the class who were in the Junior Masque were well-remembered
for their performances in the two one-act plays the group presented this spring. Who
knows—from these budding Thespians may come Barrymores and Cornells.
The boys found plenty of opportunity to show their skill as athletes in basketball,
wrestling, and touch tackle. The girls Look bowling, ping pong, hockey, basketball, and
volleyball. In these sports they have been able to earn points which will enable them to
win awards given by the Long Island Girls’ Association.
The Stamp Club has many eighth grade members who have outstanding collections.
The Service Squad also numbers eighth graders among its members. The Junior Band
is training many for its membership in the Senior Band, and the Riding and Chess Clubs
have also proved interesting to them.
The Class of '52 has done well this year. Keep it up!
THE SEVENTH GRADE
MAY we introduce Baldwin High’s newest class, the seventh grade. This is the
second year that the high school has been host to these guests from Shubert
School because of over-crowded conditions there.
The seventh graders participated in many activities. Among them were the Seventh
Grade Historical Association and basketball and soccer games against the other grade
schools in Baldwin. The girls were very interested in twirling, and many of them took
lessons from the band twirlers. Many seventh graders also belonged to the junior
band, and others had private lessons on musical instruments. The teachers who
helped in these activities are Mrs. Hayne, Mr. Girardi, Mr. Marino, Mr. Zitzmann,
and Mr. Mihan. They have done a splendid job of teaching the boys and girls!
To you, the class of 1953, we, the class of 1948, give our best wishes and a wish
for lots of luck in your years ahead in B.H.S.

IN its fourth year of activity the General Organ-
ization has taken on new significance.
Commencing in May 1947, the student body,
after a week of electioneering, voted for officers
and council members. The voting machine used
gave this election an air of importance. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: Gregory McGrath,
president; Robert Stites, vice-president; Theresa
Ludecker, treasurer; Carol Jones, secretary. The
council elected is made up of Paul Weill, Chris-
topher Wilson, Jay Doyle, Arthur Goodwin, Rob-
ert Jewell, James Moreland, Patricia Martin, Fred
Nestle, Dorothy Van Ness, Janet Bastian, Charles
Freeman, Robert Reese, Francoise Jensen, and
Richard Grotz.
A notable G.O. contribution during the past
year was the assumption of a substantial part of
the expense incurred as a result of athletic injuries
in inter-scholastic and intra-mural activities. This
was accomplished through the New York State
THE G. O.
Athletic Plan. Now families no longer need as-
sume the full expense of injuries caused by ath-
letics.
To many students the G.O. ticket is the most
important of the organization's functions. With
the ticket, which offers more than similar tickets
in neighboring schools, the student body makes
an aggregate saving of over S6,000.
The G.O. has been very active this year. Few
activities excite as much comment as the several
dances the G.O. sponsors. Other activities are
small and seemingly trivial yet make an important
contribution to the school.
The General Organization is the hands and
voice of the students of Baldwin. It is not only a
means for them to give opinions on school matters,
but it is also a means for them to do something
about problems in an orderly and appropriate
manner.

STUDENT COURT
DEBATE SOCIETY
MANY of you probably are familiar with our
student court. You may have served on it
or been one of the unhappy defendents, but at
least you know something of its workings. The
student court is the judiciary arm of the G.O. It
works hand in hand with the student police to
enforce the good conduct and safety laws of
Baldwin High School.
The court consists entirely of students except
for the adviser, Miss De Marco. It is made up of
a chief and six associate judges including Edward
Fesco, Chief Justice; Robert Steckner; Joseph Win-
disch; Ronald Hoyt; Lois Mac Lean; and John
Kennedy. The bailiff, Everett Yagud, conducts the
defendents to and from the court.
HE Debate Society” according to Mr.
JL Lynip, "ranks with the most important ex-
tra-curricular activities in the school." His state-
ment is based upon the fact that debating devel-
ops poise, ease of self-expression, soundness of
reasoning, and ability to comprehend major po-
litical and social problems.
This year the debate team participated in num-
erous interscholastic debates and round table dis-
cussions, and always made an excellent showing.
Our club also joined in the organizing of a
South Shore Debate League consisting of an east-
ern and western division.
Baldwin High can well be proud of its debate-
dub and wishes it even more success next year.

JOURNALISM CLUB
The Journalism Club is by far one of the most hard-working organizations in the
high school. The job of covering all school news and writing it for publication (not
to mention soliciting advertisements) is indeed an enormous one. However, much prac-
tical experience was gained which will be invaluable to those who plan to enter the
journalistic field.
With the faculty assistance of Mr. White the club published the "Golden Wave”
at intervals of two weeks. The paper was usually four pages, but some issues contained
extra pages. In the past year the appearance of the paper was improved by a more attrac-
tive makeup style. In addition, the circulation was larger than ever before.
Besides their regular school activities the staff put out two Teen-Age Pages of the
"Nassau Daily Review Star.” They also attended the New York University Journalism
and the Columbia Scholastic Association Conferences.

MACABRE SOCIETY
FOREIGN RELATIONS
THE sounds of battle emerge from a class-
room. First one student, then another voices
his opinion. The discussion grows fast and furi-
ous; then all is calm and the Macabre Society goes
on to other things.
Debates are but part of the activities of the
society. The members are very interested in music;
and, at the beginning of each meeting, the music
chairman gives a talk on some composer and his
works. Then Macabre sits back and listens medi-
tatively to some of the composer’s music.
The officers of Macabre are Edward Fesco, presi-
dent; Edward Mallinson, secretary; Harold Os-
mer, treasurer; Sally Lou Wheeler, music chair-
man; and Mrs. Wilcox, adviser.
DO you have your own pet plan for the use
of the atom bomb? Are you interested in
world peace? Are you concerned about national
and international affiairs? If so, the Foreign Re-
lations Club has a place for you.
The purpose of the club is to keep up with
world affairs by trying to gain a better under-
standing and broader viewpoint of things that
are happening all over the world in these turbu-
lent times. This year the club visited "Town
Meeting of the Air" and the United Nations.
The club was sponsored by Miss Bohlmann and
Miss Eskildsen, the senior social studies teachers.
The officers of the club were Thomas O'Donnell,
president and Patricia Wilson, secretary.

meeting of the Spanish Club. The other
officers were Jack Bastian, vice-president;
Ann Rhodes, who kept the minutes; and
John Hotis, who looked after the money.
The club was advised by Miss Sharp and
Miss Currie, the school’s Spanish teachers.
The energetic senors and senoritas who
were members of the club played games,
presented small plays, and sang songs, all
in Spanish.
FRENCH CLUB
THE French Club, with Miss Sharp as
advisor, aimed this year to further ac-
quaint its members with the French lan-
guage and customs by conducting its meet-
ings and giving speeches and playlets in
French. During the year the members have
been corresponding with students in France
and have seen several French movies.
The officers of the club were Paul Kamin-
ker, president; John Pratt, vice-president;
Jacqueline Van Hemert, secretary; and Del-

CHESS CLUB
THE principal aim of the chess club this
year was to create an interest in the
game among underclassmen so that the club's
size might increase in later years. The first
term found the members busily engaged in
tournaments, challenges, and practice games
with many of the newest members who
showed real promise. The club began the
second term with a series of interscholastic
meetings with neighboring schools. The re-
sults were quite successful and showed much
promise for future teams.
HISTORICAL
ASSOCIATION
ONE of the most popular activities
among Baldwin's seventh graders is
the Historical Association, which is a junior
chapter of the New York State Association.
The motto of the group is: "History can be
fun.” They have seen many films, visited
the Hempstead town hall, and the "Baldwin
Citizen” offices. The members exchange let-
ters with similar clubs in other schools and
write articles for the association magazine
"The Yorker."

SERVICE SQUAD
HAVE you ever been greeted with a friendly
but authoritative, "Please keep right," or
Don't run” as you sailed down the halls? If you
have, nine chances out of ten a member of the
Service Squad was speaking.
This squad, under the efficient direction of the
faculty adviser, Miss Bedell, and student direc-
tor, Peggy Rogers, has completed another suc-
cessful year of useful work as an organization for
maintaining order and discipline in school.
The Service Squad system was established by
the Honor Society as the first step towards the
betterment of conditions in the corridors and class-
rooms. The members are students who have pass-
ing grades and who have been recommended by
their teachers as reliable.
The duties of these pupils are to maintain order
in the corridors and on the stairways between
classes, to check passes during periods, and to give
assistance in the office when their help is needed.
The main purposes of the squad are to reduce
the number of accidents resulting from students
running in the halls and to relieve the congestion
between periods at the stairways.
The officers of the Service Squad this year
were: Peggy Rogers, president; Paul Kaminker,
vice-president; Barbara Forrest, secretary; and
Roger Martin, treasurer.

F.H.A. CLUB
STAMP CLUB
ONE of B.H.S.’s busiest groups is the Future
Homemakers of America. They have served
at more than six banquets including the Football
and Honor Society Banquets. The girls also sold
Christmas cards and made candles.
At a formal candlelight initiation the officers
were inducted, and twenty-five members were re-
ceived. This year’s officers were Sue Davies, presi-
dent; Harriet Seebach, vice-president; Marilyn
Murtha, secretary; and Edythe Torkelson, treasu-
rer. Any high school girl who has taken at least
one year of home economics is eligible for mem-
bership.
<<T’LL trade you an Australian Centennial for
X a Liberian Triangle.”
"Oh, no, you don’t; it's worth two, and you
know it.”
No, this isn’t some new lingo. It’s just a sample
of what goes on every Tuesday in Miss Bond’s
room when the Stamp Club meets. Under the
leadership of Nick Adamo, the chairman, this
group of philatelists trades and buys stamps, listens
to the stories behind stamps told by club mem-
bers, and discusses current values of stamps.
The club is open to anyone in high school who
has a collection of stamps or is interested in
stamps.
89
CHOIR
THE choir’s activities are many. One of them is the sing-
ing of Christmas carols at the Baldwin station each year.
This custom was initiated two or three years ago. Because they
have so much fun, the members of the choir don’t even seem
to mind the freezing temperature that always manages to come
just at this time.
Of course, a main feature of the annual Christmas Pageant
is the singing of carols by the group, and we mustn’t forget
to mention the melodies the choir thrills us with at the annual
Spring Concert.
We have all enjoyed the choir’s beautiful renditions in the
past, and we wish them continued success in the future.
CHORALEERS
(’(’OPECIAL Girls Chorus report
O to music room at 3:00." This
is a familiar item in the daily no-
tices from the office, and at least
once a week one may hear the
strains of well blended voices for
long hours after school. The Cho-
ralcers, or the Special Girls’ Cho-
rus, a more familiar name, is made-
up of an informal group of about
twenty girls picked by Miss Le
Faivre for their outstanding voices.
The girls choose their own songs
with her approval.
They made a hit in the Christ-
mas pageant when (dressed all in
white) they sang Christmas carols.
In the Spring Concert, they again
appeared, dressed in pretty pastels.
90
BOYS’ GLEE
CLUB
NO spring concert or choral-
music program would be com-
plete without the varied and volu-
minous interpretations of the Boys’
Glee Club.
The club consists of about thirty
boys whose fine tenor, baritone,
or bass voices enable them to sing
in it. Such voices are also excellent
for singing in the choir. Though it
is a small organization compared
with other musical groups, the in-
terest which is sustained more than
compensates for this.
Baldwin High can well be proud
of the Boys’ Glee Club and looks
forward to more of its colorful mu-
sic.
GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB
FAST growing in popularity, the Girls' Glee Club, under
the direction of Miss Le Faivre, is a colorful part of Bald-
win High’s musical program.
You undoubtedly thought the sight of more than one-
hundred girls in evening gowns was both charming and at-
tractive at the annual Spring Concert. This colorful array adds
to the enjoyment of a well-executed performance on which
we can always count. In conclusion, we extend hearty com-
mendation to Miss Le Faivre for her tireless and successful
efforts in their behalf as well as in behalf of the other choral
groups.
91
THE Baldwin High School Band, under the direction of
Mr. North, has once again proved itself an outstanding
success both as a marching and as a concert band.
The carefully planned formations added much to the color
and spirits of every football game of the season both at home
and away. Led by Drum Majorette Kay Halleran and eighteen
twirlers, the band always made an impressive appearance in
their blue and gold uniforms as they went briskly marching
down the field before the game and at the half. One of the
features at the half was the twirling stunts by Lillian Wat-
kins which included twirling with firesticks. These, as well
as the other band formations, received much applause from
the spectators.
As a result of their finely executed performances, the band
was invited to play at an international hockey meet in Garden
City and at two New York Yankee football games at Yankee
Stadium. One of these was the championship game on Decern-
THE
92
BALDWIN HIGH SCHOOL BAND
her 14 before a crowd of eighty thousand people.
How well the band members will remember the
practice drills in the snow before this game! In-
deed much credit is due them for giving up their
afternoons day after day to perfect those for-
mations both for school and "pro” football games.
As a concert band the B.H.S. Band gave its
annual concert in March. Included in the program
were solo performances by two band members.
Herb Deutsch composed a march "Tarawa"
which the band played, and Harold Osmer played
a clarinet solo "Hora Staccato." Ned Mahoney,
solo cornetist with the Goldman band, was guest
artist. A rousing finale, complete with twirlers,
ended the program. The concert was enthusiasti-
cally acclaimed by the audience.
In addition the band gave a concert at Jones
Beach and several other programs for the grade-
schools. As customary, they will terminate the year
by playing at the commencement exercises.
93
THE ORCHESTRA
OUR orchestra has accomplished more this year than ever before.
Because of Mr. North's encouragement and hard work, it has
performed both frequently and well.
In September a concert was given at Jones Beach. The group also
played appropriate music at the Senior Play and the Masque Play.
Eerie compositions to chill the blood accompanied "The Cat and the
Canary," and a medley of college songs was used at the performance
of "Best Foot Forward," the senior play.
At the band and orchestra concert last March, a great hit was made
with Mozart’s "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and the "Russian Sailor's
Dance,” by Gliere. The orchestra also performed at the Spring Con-
cert as it does every year. Senior assemblies too were aided by the
group. Several members played in the All-State Symphony and the
AIl-Nassau Symphony orchestras, which require excellent musician-
ship.
For these reasons, we of Baldwin High can be proud of our
orchestra and wish them continued success.
94
MASQUE
(*fT^\IM the lights, up with the cur-
-L-' tain, and on with the play.”
These are the words that, once again,
have opened another chapter in the
history of the Masque.
The Masque started this year with
a bang. Some of the members took
part in the Senior Play, and some
produced several one act plays. The
Masque’s supreme triumph was the
super three act play, "The Cat and
the Canary. ' It was a mystery, filled
with constant suspense, which held
the audience spell-bound. The actors
surely deserved all the praise they re-
ceived.
This year the Masque was under
the direction of Mrs. Hutchison and
its president, Peggy Ann Rogers. Bar-
bara Barnes, who is vice president of
the Senior Masque, also directed the
Junior Masque for eighth graders. The
posts of secretary and of treasurer in
the Senior Masque were held by Bar-
bara Hassen and Donald White, respectively. Bar-
bara Mack was in charge of the program com-
mittee. We must also salute the excellent job that
the back stage workers, the make-up, and the light-
ing departments did. They are just as important as
the actors in producing a successful play.
This year the Junior Masque, for the first time,
elected its own officers. It is composed of eighth
graders and trains members for future participa-
tion in the Senior Masque.

ALPHA HLY
ACTRESSES, athletes, and singers
are the girls in Alpha. They have
used their talents in many helpful ways
during the year.
The actresses and singers got their
chance when the Hi-Y gave a show
at St. Giles Orphanage in Garden City.
There they entertained the children
with a play called "Santa's Work-
shop,” a recitation of "The Night Be-
fore Christmas,’’ and two trios.
Not to be outdistanced by the dra-
matic members, the athletes showed
their stuff at the annual basketball
dance on February 20. There was
plenty' of fast competition among the
teams from Alpha, Beta, and Kappa;
and Kappa finally came out victori-
ous.
The girls distributed the collection
boxes for the Infantile Paralysis Drive
and filled Christmas stockings with
toys to be given to Baldwin's needy
children.

KAPPA HI-Y
THE year 1948 has seen many new
clubs formed in Baldwin High,
but few have been as needed and as
welcome as the Kappa Hi-Y. This
group was formed early in the year by
Alpha Hi-Y, and its thirty members
were inducted at a formal induction
by both Alpha and Beta.
Despite its newness, Kappa has done-
many interesting things this year under
the leadership of Mrs. Grotz, the ad-
viser. The officers are Edythe Torkel-
son, president; June Schardt, vice
president; Ann Masciale, secretary;
and Nancy Trautwein, treasurer.
The girls have collected money and
food for Christmas baskets for Bald-
win's needy and also have ushered at
the Christmas pageant.

KEY CLUB
UNDER the sponsorship of the
Kiwanis Club of Baldwin, a
much needed boys’ service club known
as the Key Club was organized last
fall.
BETA HI-Y
THE girls in Beta Hi-Y were
among the busiest in B.H.S. this
year. They dashed from one activity
to another and handled each splen-
didly.
The rush began last June when a
farewell picnic was given for the
seniors. This has become an annual
affair and will be given this June too.
When the Junior Red Cross Drive
came around, Beta sponsored it and
did a good job. At Christmas the girls
went to St. Giles Orphanage and gave
the children toys which had been gath-
ered. Also, a Christmas party was
given for the alumnae members. Other
highlights of the year were a Mother-
Daughter Dinner, a P.T.A. cake sale,
and a trip to New York to see a play.
It was quite a job to organize all
these activities; and Miss Tyrrell, the
adviser, and the officers are to be com-
mended. This year’s officers were Mar-
garet Gannon, president; Nancy Rock-
more, vice president; Catherine Hal-
leran, secretary; and Patricia Raben-
au, treasurer.
The club was formally accepted by
the Key Club International, a group
smaller but similar to the Kiwanis
International, and its charter was
presented at a meeting of the Kiwanis.
"We Build," the Key Club motto,
states quite well the objectives of the
club: to develop initiative and lead-
ership, to provide experience in liv-
ing and working together, to serve the
school and community, to cooperate
with the school principal, and to pre-
pare for useful citizenship.

SCIENCE CLUB
PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB
THIS year was one of the busiest for the Sci-
ence Club. Each of the three groups, biology,
chemistry, and physics was kept on the go pre-
paring demonstrations to show to the other divi-
sions.
Under the guidance of Mr. Staudte, the club
had a very interesting and enjoyable year.
In the beginning of the year each of the sec-
tions worked on separate projects, such as micro-
scopy and paleontology, photo-chemistry, and high
frequency electrical phenomena and energy trans-
formations. During the second semester the club
as a whole, with the aid of lectures and films, stu-
died atomic energy, its nature and uses.
HAVE you been puzzled by the sudden ap-
pearances of students from that little cub-
byhole off the physics room? Did you wonder
what lay behind that mysterious door? Any mem-
ber of the club is entitled to use this school dark
room and thus receive the benefit of the expen-
sive equipment he could not otherwise afford.
When the club holds meetings, some of the
topics discussed are criticism of pictures, enlarg-
ing techniques, and night photography with the
aid of special bulbs.
The photography' club in Baldwin has two of-
ficers: Richard Kopp, president and Frank La
Chicotte, secretary. Mr. Hirni is the faculty' ad-
viser.

THE RIDING CLUB
BECAUSE of the popularity, extent of the membership, and
the time spent by its participants, the members of the rid-
ing club are now receiving school credit similar to that given
to the participants in the senior and masque plays. They ride
in two separate groups every week, weather permitting. The
first group goes on Monday afternoons from four o’clock
until five (this is usually the older group), and the second
on Thursday afternoons from three-fifteen until four-fifteen.
A truck comes on both days from the Biltmore Stables in
Hempstead to pick up the riders; it also brings them back to
school when this ride is completed. The club’s adviser, Miss
Currie, often goes along with the groups.
The instruction given to the beginners, intermediate and
sometimes advanced riders is supervised by Mr. Waynard, the
owner of the stables, with the efficient help of the guides. The
one hour ride is a pleasant one around Hempstead Lake. The
bridle path also affords lovely scenery.
The Riding Club started in September, suspended activity
when the snow storm interfered, and resumed when the
weather improved. On November 26, various members
entered as beginners, intermediate, and advanced riders in
the horse show presented by the stables.

VARSITY FOOTBALL
ALTHOUGH it started off slowly, this year's football squad kept fighting and
played its way into the South Shore playoffs. After losing their first three games,
a "never say die" eleven came charging back to command respect as an explosive team
likely to topple the best opponents.
Lack of experience seemed to be the main reason for the costly mistakes of early
season play. However, there was the will to keep at it and to realize the necessity for
improvement. These factors carried the team uphill after a slow start to tie one game
and win the other three.
It was a largely novice team that met a veteran Mineola squad in the opening tussle.
The 13-6 defeat was not indicative of the gallant fight the Golden Wave mustered in
a thrilling second half in which Mineola’s 13-0 halftime lead was very nearly equaled
by a revitalized eleven. The "come back" spirit which prevailed during the entire season
seemed to be born in that game. Dick Usher climaxed a great sustained ground drive by
plunging over from the two-yard line for Baldwin's only score. The game ended in a
dramatic race against time with the ball on the Mineola two-yard line.
A rather weak defense, combined with the inability of the team to sustain an
offensive thrust, proved to be the major factor in our 19-0 defeat by a powerful Glen
Cove grid machine. The Covers were almost entirely powered by returned lettermen.
However, Baldwin gave the green and red a hard fight, holding the game scoreless until
the second half.
The Tigers of Hempstead, a team which was later to gain the title of the entire
Metropolitan area, proved superior to Baldwin again this year. The Hempstead eleven
rolled up 25 points or more against every opponent they faced and was acclaimed as the
greatest one coached by Joe Fay. Neverthless, our boys gave their best throughout the
entire contest, and the experience of the game was to be of great value in the climb that

lay ahead. The score of this game was 26-0.
It was against Oceanside the following week that
the Golden Wave first dented the winning column.
Following a scoreless first half, the losing streak was
finally broken. It was in this game that Fred Hal-
big, later to prove an offensive standout, made his
debut. The I 3-0 victory was just the thing needed
to revitalize the team’s spirit.
On paper, Central was supposed to provide op-
position equal to that of the power-packed Glen
Cove and Hempstead elevens. Led by the Kinney
brothers, the Valley Stream club had rolled over all
previous opposition by large scores. However, the
Golden Wave took advantage of an early game
break and piled its way deep into Central territory.
Usher plunged over making the score 6-0. Rocked
back on their heels, Central began to bear down. Fine
play held the lead well into the fourth quarter. For
a team that was predicted to be beaten by at least
three touchdowns, the Baldwin eleven were per-
forming like supermen. Late in the final stanza, they
finally yielded a touchdown, but succeeded in block-
ing the important extra point. When the dust had
cleared, the scoreboard read Baldwin 6-Central 6.
Baldwin had won a great moral victory.
Rain twice postponed the traditional Election Day
clash with Freeport. The game was finally resched-
uled for the Saturday following the Chaminade game.
103
The Chaminade tussle proved to be a touchdown
rampage. On the opening play of the game, Dick
Usher raced fifty-five yards for a touchdown. "Mad
Man” Fred Halbig, the hero of the day, took a
Chaminade kickoff on his own thirty yard line and
sprinted all the way. From then on it was all Bald-
win’s game. The final score was 32-6.
Finally on November 27, the Freeport game was
played. Baldwin’s twenty-fourth meeting with Free-
port, witnessed by five thousand spectators, proved
to be, as usual, the same panorama of color and
tenseness that makes this old series so exciting. The
Red Devils marched quickly to a 7 point half time
lead, but our "never say die” spirit again came to life.
Capitalizing on the opposition’s bad ball-handling,
Baldwin recovered a fumble and marched deep into
Freeport territory where a pass from Dreier to Hotis
was good for a touchdown. Still trailing by a point
at the end of the third quarter, another Baldwin
drive, capped by a pass from Dreier to Dalo, made
the score 13 to 7 with Nelson adding the extra
point. The best play and clincher of the game was a
95 yard run by fleet-footed Halbig, who broke loose
from scrimmage on the five yard line to make the
game 19-7, the final score.
Our victory made us first possessors of the Raynor
Trophy. The series is now even at twelve all.
As several other South Shore teams had sched-
uled more than seven games and because our rela-
tions with Lawrence would be improved by a tussle
with them, we were chosen as the two rivals in the
playoffs. The Thanksgiving Day contest was played
on a very muddy Firemen’s Memorial Field in Val-
104
ley Stream. The hard fought game, in which neither
team distinguished itself, proved to be a real muddle.
The scoreless tie that resulted added to the excite-
ment of this game which was unique in South Shore
playoff history. Bob Michaelis and Pete Hotis turned
in outstanding performances.
In summation, it is fitting to give credit to Coach
Craig and his assistant, Mr. Reinisch. They kept their
watchful eyes open and told the boys just where im-
provement was needed. They did most of the worry-
ing. "Coach's fretful but colorful expressions on the
sidelines were an unforgettable part of this and past
seasons. We of '48 wish for them and their future
elevens the best of everything in the years to come.

JAY-VEE FOOTBALL
VARSITY teams are composed mainly by players brought up from J. V.
squads. Unlike many other schools, however, our team isn’t made up of
lower string varsity players but is a separate unit composed mainly of under-
classmen. Because most of the opposition was from schools using lower string
varsity talent, our J.V.’s had a weight and experience disadvantage. The team
played to win, of course, but the older boys proved too much for them. The
13-0 opening game victory over Malverne was the only victory in six starts
against Hempstead, Freeport (twice), Valley Stream, and Oceanside.
What the team lacked in size and experience, it made up in the spirited
way it went at its opposition regardless of the score. Quarterback John Callahan
captained the Blue and Gold through a season which saw the
birth of many potential varsity gridders including Bob O'Don-
nell, Peter and Leo Mahony, Walt Miller, Herman Gross,
Jack Fitzsimmons, Harry Moorc, Don Burns, Dave Torkelson,
Roy Neville, Bill Wesley, Jim Chisholm, Tom Gresalfi, and
Dick Grotz.
5.C.-G7.
Much credit should be given to Coach "Captain" Hirni.
His understanding of the game was largely responsible for
the fine team spirit. Commenting on the season he said, "They
were a fine bunch of boys who gave the best that they had.
They played for each other, their team, and their school.”

BASEBALL
AS a dark horse last year, a spirited Baldwin nine went
on to win second place in the South Shore league, win-
ning twelve and dropping five games for the season as a
whole. At this writing, Mr. Gerardi is sure that the same
spirit and determination will be prevalent throughout the
squad and therefore expects a successful season.
This year’s team was composed of top material selected
from a primary squad of over one hundred candidates. The
seniors lost last year are to be replaced by promising veterans
including Robert Baldwin, Roy Webber, and Robert Morrissey,
any of whom could qualify.
The Baldwin co-captains, chosen before the opening of
play, were Al Bassinger and Frank Nelson who were seen a lot around the
keystone corner with their snappy fielding and consistency with the willow last
year. Bob Combs, Fred Kopf, and Roy Neville, all veterans of last year's cam-
paign, have good chances of fitting into the season’s mound staff at this time.
Whatever nine players take the field opening day, it is a true guarantec
that with the type of athletes Baldwin has produced in recent years, they will
be out to grab first place in the league, supporting each other by their spirit
and will to win. Lots of credit should be given to Coach Gerardi for his revival
of interest in the sport. May he continue to coach winning teams.

BASKETBALL
I
ERASING the record of two unsuccessful seasons, the varsity basketball quintet high-
lighted its fair season with a sparkling 36-25 victory over Oceanside. The outcome
was uncertain in the first two quarters, but Baldwin surged ahead in the third quarter
and kept the decisive margin. This triumph smashed a streak of twenty-two defeats
established in the two previous seasons.
In summarizing individual players, the following may be said. The guard slots
were occupied by Hedick and Jewell. Hedick, a star lineman on the soccer team, started
many plays that boosted the points. Jewell’s long shots, which hit when they were
badly needed, were skillfully executed and thrilling to watch. Kopf, one of the tallest
players on the squad, usually found at center, exhibited speed and agility for his size.
Being an all-around player, his main talents were displayed under the boards.
Representing the wedge of attack were Tremper and "Red’’ Murphy filling the
forward stations. Tremper, a lanky southpaw, displayed keen skill with his perfected
hook shots and kept a cool, intelligent head in every situation.
"Red" Murphy was one of the star performers of the league and was the sparkplug
of the outfit when there was any scoring to be done. He seldom failed to twist and weave
through the most carefully established defenses and net a point whenever the ball was
in his control. His speed and stamina has made him high scorer of the team and a
serious threat to all opposition.
108
Bayard, Flood, and Jefferson also saw some
action during the season. Bayard was a fast, aggres-
sive competitor, who played a good defensive
game. Flood and Jefferson were versatile assets
throughout the entire season.
Coach Murtha has built basketball into a better
scholastic and athletic activity, and he will no
doubt have a terrific team next year. This year’s
squad had few seniors, and a good deal of the
experienced material and potential stars will be
scholastically eligible next season.
Here's all success in the future to our basketball
quintets. We, of ’48 hope that the intensified
basketball training program in the public schools
and lower high school grades will come through
and produce winners in the long years ahead. We
have broken the long losing streak and climbed the
first rung on the ladder of success. May the ascent
be quick and sure and in a few years may Baldwin
be at the top rung of the ladder, leading the South
Shore League.

SOCCER
THE Baldwin High School soccer team, under
the able coaching of Mr. Sweezey, turned in
the most successful season in its history last fall.
The Baldwin hooters were a constant threat in
the South Shore League. The team’s second place
standing was not determined until the last game
of the s.eason. Garden City gained a close 1-0 vic-
tory over the Wave eleven in that game to clinch
the hotly contested championship. Baldwin's lone
losses in league play came at the hands of Garden
City, both with identical close scores. The other
opponents, South Side and Central were beaten
in their efforts with the Sweezey hooters.
In a long, eleven game slate, the team gained a
record of five victories as against six defeats but
won four out of its six league games. A game
was never lost by more than one goal. The team
was the only one able to send an undefeated Sea
Cliff squad into overtime, before going down to a
heart-breaking 2-1 defeat with only 13 seconds
remaining in the game.
Chip Sibbers and Herb Hedick were the leading
scorers of the team with six and five goals respec-
tively. Jack Combs proved to be a very good wing
especially against South Side. Don Soule and Leo
Radzaj rounded out a deceptive and fast line.
110
Led by Captain Marty Quinn at center half, the
backfield stood out as the backbone of the team.
Ray Bayard, William Josanne, Bob Philippi, and
Martin Krause completed a backfield which
allowed only eleven goals in as many games, an
outstanding defensive record. Dave Fricke at the
goalie slot made many saves and could be de-
pended upon for a consistently good game.
Ray Bayard and Chip Sibbers gained additional
honors by being named to the All-Scholastic Soccer
squad. The placing of two men on this team was
indicative of the type of play of the Blue and Gold.
The soccer team earned itself a position of
respect among all its opponents. It played hard,
and never gave up hope. It learned to lose close
games as well as win them. The popularity of
soccer is growing stronger each year; Baldwin can
look forward to continued success in this sport
if this year’s interest is any measure of future
possibilities.

WRESTLING
sc-Atv
THE team this year exhibited good wrestling in every
match, winning the majority of its matches. The squad
did not feature a dazzling array of stars but a large number
of consistently successful athletes. The large factor behind its
winning ways was careful training, with every wrestler in top
condition during the season.
Lacking the support of their team captain, Octavius Vizzi,
who was out because of an arm injury, Baldwin suffered
defeat only at the hands of Bay Shore and Mcpham. "Butch’'
Dreier was also out the best part of the season from an injury
he received in football, but he was able to wrestle in the
Mepham match. Matthew Flynn has been a really good
wrestler in his first year of varsity competition with six vic-
tories including two pins, to his credit. James Keleher has
left the mat seven triumphant times with five pins to his
credit. Julius Vizzi gained five outstanding victories including
his sparkling exhibition in the Bay Shore match. Gresalfi has
presented thrilling performances at every appearance. His
thirty-six second pin in the Oceanside match was one of the
highlights of the season. Weill is about the most conservative
and logical wrestler on the team. He has had a spotless record
112
of six victories and a draw in the Mepham match
with no setbacks. LaVine, a senior, wrestling his
first year, decisioned three of his men and pinned
his opponent in the Lynbrook match. Callahan,
wrestling his first for the varsity team, won two
matches including his outstanding defeat of
Doherty, one of Amityville’s renowned grapplers.
Megale, in unlimited, is a sophomore, who in
his first year has done a great job in Don Berndt's
old weight class. Sibbers and Strunk have both
been important factors in their first year of varsity
wrestling. MacDonald has achieved two pins out
of four decisions. Stites has accumulated the same-
number of pins with three decisions and a default
in the Mepham contest to his credit. Mahony has
wrestled for three winning decisions and is a boy
to be watched in the coming seasons.
Other mat men playing important roles in the
'48 season were Roy Neville, having a pin and
a draw, Dave Torkelson with two decisive pins to
his credit, and Greg McGrath, who decisioned
Nilsen 6-0 in the Malverne clash. James McPhee
wrestled against both Pennsylvania teams in the
95 pound class.
Although the season began with Bay Shore
handing us a grim defeat, Mepham was the only
team from then on who could touch Baldwin. The
varsity took a thrilling victory from Amityville in
a close 19-17 struggle. Oceanside and Valley
Stream both have met defeat from Baldwin, but
these defeats just built up the final climax. The last
match of the season was a 34-0 shut-out over Long
Beach, with every Baldwin wrestler winning his
match.

BOWLING
HURLING itself into a long, action-
packed season, the bowling team has
increased in importance on the sports agenda
of ’48. In weekly clashes with rival squads
the boys have defeated Freeport and Wood-
mere and have shut out Rockville Centre
with their high consistency in scoring.
Coach Hirni now has a team which
rates fourth place as a result of its perform-
ances in the South Shore Athletic League.
The two outstanding bowlers on the team
are Larry Kelly and Tony Ranieri. Ranieri
has the highest total series in the league this
year. Both boys are consistently high bowlers
and have been on the team for three years.
Mahony, De Maio, Hobbs, Bittner, and De
Mont also lent their full support to the team
this season.
Although bowling is one of the smaller
varsity sports, it is rapidly developing; and
we hope the team will meet greater success
in following seasons.

PACED by Bill Brayer, Donald Wilkins,
Dick Karlson, and Steve Haut, as return-
ing veterans, along with other promising
new players, the 1948 tennis squad can look
forward, at this writing to a potentially good
season. With Mr. Leonard as coach the squad
practiced last fall and entered scholastic com-
petition in the spring of this year.
The fall session consisted of a ladder
tournament in which members of the team
challenged other members. The standings
helped determine the fellows who were to
represent the school in the inter-scholastic
competition in the spring. These practice
sessions were held at Sergio’s courts in Bald-
win twice a week. There was both a junior
and senior ladder for the enthusiastic crowd
of 47 boys who turned out for the sport.
Mr. Leonard stated that this fine turnout for
tennis would help to put Baldwin among
the scholastic leaders within a few years.

SOFTBALL
SOFTBALL has recently been added to
Baldwin High's after school activities.
The enthusiasm of last year's squad was re-
flected even more by this year's team. This
year’s nine was composed of many young
candidates who strove to gain recognition.
Mr. Diskin was appointed faculty adviser
and planned to lead a winning team on the
diamond. So far the main reason that has
kept the squad from chalking up more vic-
tories has been the lack of an effective
pitching staff. Coach Diskin intends to right
this fault by concentrating more effort in
helping the pitchers and catchers.
Softball isn't a letter winning sport, but it
is helpful in providing recreation for boys
who have some leisure time. Lots of fun is
had by all who participate. More recognition
has been gradually given to the team because
of the many victories over other schools and
the growing realization of the value of local
softball teams as a help in keeping fit after
graduation.
TRACK
WE have a track team without a track
and without very much equipment,
but one with a fine spirit and keen interest.
The increase in popularity of the sport
can be attributed to a good showing of the
team despite its handicaps. Under Mr. Dis-
kin’s watchful eye, last year’s larger turnout
produced many potential South Shore League
cinder stars. This year’s squad will have the
services of a new coach. Mr. Harrison will
take up the post as track mentor.
Returning members of last year's team
who showed promise are Greg McGrath,
Bob Murphy, and Jim Merle, jumpers; Jim
Moreland, shotput; Jay Doyle. 100 yard
dash; Bob Fowley, pole vault; Jim Rogers,
hurdles; Greg McGrath, Fred Halbig, and
Paul Weill, half milers; and Leo Mahony
and Bob Philippi, milers. Last year's track-
men elected Greg McGrath as Captain.
115
BOYS’ LEADERS CORPS
THIS year marked the re-creation of the Boys’ Leaders Club
in Baldwin High. Through the efforts of Director of
Athletics, Mr. Craig, thirty-five boys with the necessary quali-
fications of leadership, character, and sportsmanship were
selected with the approval of the faculty. Meeting every week,
these boys learned the required skill tests and aided the gym
teachers in the gym classes. They also acted as ushers at various
athletic functions.
One of the big attractions of the year was the visits of
Mr. Black, a judo expert of the New York City Police
Department, who taught the boys some fundamentals of ju-
jitsu. Plans were made for the group to travel to the military
academy at West Point in the spring. During the winter
months, the boys held a basketball tourney among themselves.
The officers elected at the beginning of the year were:
Herb Hedick, captain; Jim Moreland and Bob Stites, co-
captains-elect; and Craig Haight, secretary.
The boys of the Leaders Corps feel that their organization
has an important place in the extra curricular activities of
Baldwin and that it will grow in prestige and usefulness.

116
HE
GIRLS’ LEADERS CORPS
three words inscribed on the Leaders’ Key—"Beneficium, Honor, Scientia,"
meaning service, honor, and knowledge, describe what should be the aim and pur-
pose of each girl in the Leaders' ranks. Established by Miss Kloberg in 1936, the pur-
pose of this organization has been to assist in all phases of physical education and in
school and community projects. Entrance to the corps is highly competitive, and upon
induction each girl is expected to take, as her own, the pledge which she recites:
I pledge on my honor to uphold the standards set by the Leaders Corps, to set an
example in appearance and conduct, and to maintain sound mental and physical health."
The girls are selected for their leadership, athletic ability, and scholarship; and they
.ire indeed impressive in their simple, crisp, white uniforms. Each girl is qualified to
be a leader in any field, and the practical training she receives while a member of the
Corps proves invaluable when high school days are over and life in an adult world begins.
The Leader Corps increased its membership this year to sixty members. There are
now fifteen girls from each class. The increased membership became necessary because
of the broader physical education program and the ever-growing number of other extra-
curricular activities throughout the school.

GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
THE Girl's Athletic Association at Baldwin has become
one of the most active organizations in the school and is
the general medium through which all girls’ sports activities
are regulated under the supervision of Miss Kloberg. This
organization has a formal induction after each sports division,
at which time new members are admitted, and Long Island
Girls’ Athletic Association awards are given to those girls who
have earned them.
After its first formal induction this year, the association
conducted a Dad and Daughter Night which proved to be a
huge success. The girls plan to make this an annual event.
An emblem was designed for the association employing
the four colors which stand for the four different ranks that
can be attained. Each color also stands for a personal character-
istic. White, the color of the first rank, stands for virtue; blue,
the second rank, for loyalty; red, the third, for courage; and
violet, the fourth and highest rank, stands for honor.
At the formal banquet last June, this year’s executive board
was announced as follows: Linda de Bottari, president; Jane
Thurber, treasurer; Joan Walsh, secretary; Jeanne Meyer, pub-
licity; Marilyn Klein, GA A Gab; Joyce Donnelly, Barbara
Holmberg, Joan Smith, and Terry Ludecker, representatives.

UNDER the skillful supervision of Miss Klo-

practiced hard drives, scoops, and lunges at least
twice a week. Despite cracked shins, swollen
ankles, and blackened eyes, they made a good
showing in every game they played. At the Long
Island Girls' Association Sportsday held at Central
High School, Baldwin placed second. The Baldwin
team also participated in the Long Island Field
Hockey Association Sportsday at Adelphi College cess.

THE large turnout of girls this year proved ’
that basketball was a popular sport, and'the ,
girls certainly knew how to make baskets. From -
freshmen to seniors, each team was gifted 'with
outstanding members. Under the expert coaching
of Miss Gould, the girls perfected new plays by
spending long afternoons in the gym. Although
they did not walk off with top honors, their fine
sportsmanship and team-work brought them suc-

VOLLEYBALL
A BRUISED fist! Broken finger-nails!
It’s volleyball! The girls who so gayly
toss the ball back and forth over the net
really pack a wallop and deserve their well
earned places on the school honor team. The
team participated in a playday, and they’ll
never forget the "fun” they had—not only
playing, but in transportation, as it was a
problem. However, Coach Gould solved it
by stowing the team in her car trunk!

' ' ’ 1 TAP CLUB
(* (* O HUFFLE-HOP-STEP, shuffle-hop-step"—that's Miss Brill drilling the tap rou-
O tine into the capable members of the Tap Club. The club has sixty members,
fifteen from each class, who are chosen by competitive tryouts. The club performs at both
Intra-Mural Night and Sportsnite.

For the past three years the entire club has done a required drill of steps. In addi-
tion to this routine each class is responsible for creating an original dance which is
judged at Intra-Mural Night on a competitive basis. The winners this year were the
sophomores, followed* respectively by the juniors, seniors, and freshmen.

TUMBLING CLUB
VI
THE Tumbling Club is an organization of sixty girls, chosen through competitions,
who demonstrate their skill on the mats, horse, and parallel bars. Our tumblers
really enjoy themselves although they practice long hours in awkward places per-
fecting strenuous and difficult stunts.
During Intra-Mural Night, each group performs on the horse, parallel bars, and
mats; and, in addition, presents a series of required tumbling with an original group of
stunts. Scores from each activity are accumulated, and the class scoring highest in the
most events wins. The competition was keen, but those up-and-coming sophomores
MODERN DANCE

AN entrancing part of the Intra-Mural Nighc and Sportsnite programs is the grace-
ful performance of the Modern Dance Club. The girls qualify for the club, which
is supervised by Miss Brill, through competition; fifteen girls are chosen from each class.
A series of techniques, required of all classes, are demonstrated. Then each class
does an original composition, usually telling a story through the dance. The juniors
will long be remembered for their inspiring portrayal of "The Emancipation Proclama-
tion." The choreography for this winning dance was created by Audrey Clapp and
JoAnne Gregory. The composition depicted the struggle between the North and South
during the Civil War and was excellently portrayed by every member of the group.

GIRLS’
SEVENTEEN years ago one of the most in-
spiring traditions of our school was started
by the girls’ physical education director, Miss
Kloberg; and the tradition is now the highlight
of each school year for the girls.
Girls’ Week is launched on Sunday with all
the girls going to their own churches. Throughout
the week the girls reign over Baldwin High.
Monday finds the girls in white attending a
chapel program in their honor. The dads are
drawn into the festivities on Tuesday night at
the enjoyable Father-Daughter Night. Every year
becomes leap-year on Wednesday when the boys
are taken to the tea dance. The poster contest is
judged at this time, too. Thursday night ushers
in the eventful Mother-Daughter Banquet.
Speeches by the mothers, captains, and advisers
are followed by the Song and Cheer Contest,
and as usual Miss Kloberg keeps the girls in
terrific suspense before reading the verdicts of
the judges. School never seems to end on Friday
because of the long awaited Saturday of Sports-
nite.
At last the great day arrives, and the girls re-
hearse nearly all morning. Then they're back
again at seven, anxiously but quietly awaiting the
momentous occasion. Suddenly they find them-
selves in front of parents and judges. The results
of eternities of practice show as the girls give

WEEK
their best to every song and dance. After speedy
changes to gym suits they present their snappy
and clever marching entrances doing all sorts of
formations. After this, games and club exhi-
bitions come with everyone giving her all for her
team.
This year, the Blue were inspired by captains
Linda de Bottari and Ann Rhodes; the Golds, by
captains Edythe Ferns and Carol Jones.
1948 saw the Blue Team victorious. However,
although one team may win, in the true code of
sportsmanship, there is no greater glory than to
lose through good sportsmanship; therefore,
Sportsnite actually brings victory to both Bluc
and Gold.
After the solemn singing of "Friends," the
girls marched through the gym singing "Cheer
for Old Baldwin." Thus another Sportsnite was
over; but its spirit will never die, for its teach-
ings of sportsmanship will remain alive forever
in the memory of every girl who participated.
Both teams wish to express their deepest ap-
preciation for the help and thoughtfulness of
Miss Klobcrg and the advisers—for the Blues,
Miss McConnell, Mrs. MacLaury, and Miss Ful-
ler; for the Golds, Miss Bohlmann and Miss
Miller.
